Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—distinguishing between a person and a swaying branch or a cat—with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching, scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings the moment a boundary is crossed. Unlike older systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, our AI automatically understands your property lines and responds to threats in real-time.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation, we assess your current hardware to ensure it can be integrated into our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security force without the need for a total hardware overhaul. If your current cameras are wired, we can likely make them significantly smarter.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone approaches your boundary, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system uses escalating responses: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted. This combination stops most criminals before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. All scOS data is processed through our UK-based Intelligence Hub and stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong to you and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. Unlike many competitors, we keep our operations and support entirely within the UK.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening before a criminal reaches the house. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive security guard that uses AI to detect anomalies and deter threats across your entire perimeter, ensuring your home is protected from every angle, not just the front step.

Ingatestone is an affluent area with high-value vehicles, making it a target for sophisticated thieves. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to cross-reference any car entering your driveway with the national database. If a vehicle is using cloned plates—a common tactic for high-end car theft—scOS will alert you immediately, providing a level of protection that standard Essex Police-monitored CCTV cannot match.

For Ingatestone residents commuting into London via the Great Eastern Main Line, leaving the house empty all day is a concern. scOS Presence Simulation is designed for this exact scenario. It doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it simulates realistic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone watching from the street, effectively deterring burglars before they even approach.

scOS is 100% UK-based, from our Intelligence Hub processing to our technical support teams. In an affluent village like Ingatestone, we understand that privacy and local accountability are paramount. Your data never leaves the UK, and our professional installation team ensures your system is perfectly calibrated for your specific property layout in a single day.
